Preliminary
& Final Major Site Plan

Ms. Hartmann stated the applicant has requested waivers
from providing an environmental impact statement because the site is a
developed site.They will be taking
down one building and constructing a 3100 sq. ft. retail building.The second waiver they are requesting is
plan and profiles of proposed storm drainage.According to the applicant there is no storm drain facilities being
proposed.They are going to provide
only porous pavement.We do have a
storm water management plan.For
completeness she feels these two things can be waived, but that does not
necessarily mean in the end Mr. Fernandes is not going to require drainage
facilities.As a committee, we
recommend these two things be waived with a caveat that if Mr. Fernandes feels
that what they have provided as part of their storm water management plan as
well as their porous pavement is not adequate, they will have to submit the
appropriate plans and profiles.There
are 4 other items that they have not provided.They have not provided a certification there are no wetlands on the
property.They make note of something
concerning wetlands, but she wants their engineer to state there are no
wetlands.They have a disposal bed
shown on the plans for the septic but she is not sure if they are expanding
their septic or not.They need to
provide us with that information.She
is not sure if they need a soil fill/removal plan.Finally, their lighting plan was inadequate so they need us to
provide with one.They are not complete
yet.

Chairman Williams stated he will not call for a vote
tonight.They will be on the calendar
for September.

Ms. Hartmann stated we should state we are not waiving
anything and they need to provide more information why they need the waivers or
to provide us with the information.

Preliminary
& Final Major

Site Plan

Chairman Williams stated he has some
minor corrections with regards to spelling and grammar.

Vice Chairman Hartery stated he
would like Mr. Fernandes to make sure that everything in the resolution is on
the plans.

Mr. Deutsch stated he would like to
see conditions of resolutions be made part of the cover sheet to the site
plans.This was discussed in the class
they took up in Sussex.

Chairman Williams stated we will
make that condition 19.

Councilwoman
Merz moved to approve the resolution with the following condition
added:Condition 19:Above noted conditions shall be made part of
the cover sheet.Mr. Mitchko seconded the motion.

Chairman Williams stated the access
road from Route 15 south and coming to a ?T? stop was spelled out in the body
of the resolution but was not made a condition.

Ms. Hartmann stated you want to add
a condition.She does recall either a
do not enter sign or something to tell motorists they should not go down.

Mr. Deutsch stated that is where the
?T? was.They were talking about making
the curbing so it would be impossible to make the turn to go back down.

Chairman Williams stated it is
condition number 8.The Chief had a lot
to say on that and he does not feel the one sentence captures it.

Ms. Hartmann stated you should add
roadway modifications to deter access onto the entrance from Route 15 south
ramp and signage, such as do not enter and wrong way.

Chairman Williams stated we will
also add the condition to place the above conditions to the cover sheet.

Mr.
Mitchko moved to approve the resolution with the following additional
conditions added:Condition 8 add:
roadway modifications to deter access on to the entrance from Route 15 South
ramp and signage, such as do not enter and wrong way; Condition 9 above noted
conditions shall be made part of the cover sheet.Mr. Deutsch seconded the
motion.

Ms. Hartmann stated you need to not
respond to this and possibly change your ordinance.There are ordinances that limit the size of any vehicle,
recreational, boat, or whatever, that is in your driveway and that usually
winds up being anywhere up to 25 feet.That allows large pick up trucks and boats.This is bigger then some homes.It effects the quality of life for everyone in the neighborhood.

Chairman Williams stated we will
delay the answer and check the codes and ordinances to see if size is an issue.
